    BP/W pocket quandary for women

    With all due respect, I was pointing out that these "downsides" don't actually exist, not that these are "features" that you can't get elsewhere. If you want to talk about features you can't get elsewhere lets talk. 1) you remove all that unnecessary neoprene bulk that you have to compensate...

    Attaching knife to BC

    I used to keep mine zip tied to the corrugated inflation hose. mounted handle facing the power inflator. worked very well for me for years. I have since moved it to my waste a la DIR. but some BC's won't allow that, and the corrugated hose is pretty universal;

    Windows 8 is not at all like windows 7

    Pete, that is the same rig I am running, That sabertooth MB, I was weary about it with all the plastic, but it is really awesome. However, why not just run Windows in a virtual machine on one of your linux boxes? If I wasn't such a huge gamer I would be doing that.

    Windows 8 is not at all like windows 7

    Try this for win 8. https://www.stardock.com/products/start8/ You should be much more comfortable with it after you get that. it will start win 8 in desktop mode. (I run win 7 and Ubuntu exclusively on my non touch devices) I hate how Microsoft has forced desktop and traditional laptop...

    Love snorkeling, HATE the vests!

    It sounds like the vest may be too big on you, I never had to tighten a snorkel vest before. and that includes the crotch strap. The crotch strap prevents it from riding up. However, I did do an amazon search just now, maybe something like this would be better for you? Amazon.com: Scubapro...

    The only thing that needs to have any type of special cleaning is the tank, and that is only if the shop fills with 100% o2 and dilutes with air. Everything else on the market today that I know of can handle 40% or less EANx.

    Any advice on needed/not needed accessories?

    I would say most rentals provide a computer now a days. So you should be ok there (just make sure they explain how to use it before you dive) Everything else is also rentable. However, remember everyone pees in their wetsuit, if that is a problem, that may be on your list.

    Diving a wreck off West Palm w/ my Son

    The viz was amazing last weekend wasn't it? Probably the best visibility I have seen in a while. And some of the bluest water I have seen in the area in some time. It was nice not diving into the green abyss for once :)

    Attaching an SMB to a backplate, has anyone used one of those mesh bags?

    I wanted to thank you all. I did get the XS mesh bag, and attached it to my plate today. It looks like it is going to be what I was looking for, and is going to work out way better than my makeshift ziptie solution.

    Octo Orientation - perhaps a twist on "the norm"

    Wait who teaches the left shoulder? Padi taught the right shoulder, and I always figured the rest of the recreational folks do the same thing.
